Now the Reasons why we are to have respect to all the Commandments are these following:
1. Because they are all ratified by the same Authority: There is a connection between them, as there is between links in a chain, take away one and all falleth to pieces: Jam. 2. 10. For whosoever shall keep the whole Law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. The authority of the Law is lost if men may pick and choose as they please: He that said, Thou shalt do no murder, hath also said, Thou shalt keep my Sabbaths. A quatenus ad omne, the argument holds. Do one thing as a duty, and that will enforce the practice of all duties that we are convinced of: Col. 1. 10. Walk worthy of God in all well-pleasing. He that seeketh not to please God in all things, seeketh not to please God in any thing.
